The renovation has preserved and enhanced the character and architectural integrity of the home, revealing a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and understated luxury.

A large utility room, boot room, and traditional wine cellar provide practical touches that enhance everyday living. The interiors are a blend of Georgian charm and continental influence, inspired by the rustic sophistication of French and Italian farmhouses. Neutral palettes, layered textures, reclaimed materials, and antique fittings bring warmth and character to every space. Original features-including fireplaces, timber sash windows, and wood panelling-have been sympathetically restored and thoughtfully integrated into a timeless, functional design scheme.
